be shooting straight.

But those dancing days are done.

The hell with it.

I'm not being paranoid.

The guy's after my job.

That's how it is these days.

All politics.

It's the law of the jungle

around here.

Young guys only care

about one thing, okay? Power.

I'm talking about ruthless.

Gizmo, ca-ca!

Will the owner of the car

with license number 1 AG401...

... please remove it from the parking

garage? Your car is old and dirty.

- State your desired floor number.

- Forty-six, please.

The elevator doors have opened.

Please leave.

Gizmo.

How'd you get up there?

Billy said to take you home,

so I'm just...

I'll put you in my purse

until we're out of the building.

Hello.

Here we go.

Gizmo, you're so hyper.

I guess New York does that to people.

Okay, here we go.

Legs.

So did you always know

you wanted to be an artist?

I always knew I liked to draw.

When I was a kid, I drew comics.

I had this box of crayons...

I had crayons!

I used them to write memos

to the other kids. Even then, I knew.

That's really something.

We're finally getting to know each

other. You can't do that in an office.

- It's all business.

- Exactly!

Let's talk about your relationship

to Mr. Clamp. Your access.

I see a future. I see corner offices,

embossed letterhead.

I see us swallowing

the publicity department.

Really? Wow...

Gosh. I'm feeling so vulnerable

with you, Billy.

I've never talked

about these feelings before.

When art and business join forces,

anything can happen.

I definitely feel we should join...

...forces.

Sir?

This is a Canadian dessert,

chocolate mousse.

Can I cut you an antler?

No, thank you.

You okay? You want another Molson?

No, thanks. Really, I'm fine.

I gotta go. I got this appointment.

I'm in a hurry.

- I'm sorry about your stocking.

- That's okay, Billy.

- See you tomorrow.

- Yeah, great.

How about some horn?

Okay, Gizmo.

Billy said to feed you before

midnight. He didn't say what you like.

I hope this is okay.

It's chicken and mashed potatoes...

Oh, God!

Try to be a little more careful

around here, okay?

We don't have money to replace things.

There you go.

- What are you...?

- Bingo!

Yikes!

- Who is it?

- Open up, honey. It's me.

- Hey. Sorry I'm late.

- Hi.

It's okay.

What happened to you?

How was your meeting?

It was fine. Where's Gizmo?

- He's in the kitchen.

- Great. Did you feed him?

- Sort of.

- Giz, guess who's...

- Bulls-eye!

...home.

Gizmo?

- Where'd you find him?

- Your office, where you said.

This is not Gizmo.

- We have to go back.

- You said no more...

There won't be,

if they don't eat after midnight.

But look at him.

He's wired.

We have to take him with us.

No...

- Honey, get my bag!

- Okay.

- Great.

- Who could that be? It's late.

- Should I get it?

- You better get it.

- Lf you wanna get out, be quiet.

- Who is it?

That's better.

Surprise!

Mr. And Mrs. Futterman!

Weren't you coming tomorrow?

The guys in my old outfit

changed the reunion date.

- We had to get on a Greyhound.

- Thirty-two hours.

- Sorry for coming so late.

- That's okay.

Can I get you coffee or tea?

- Little piggers!

- Oh, yeah, the cake blew up.

Billy, this is some crazy city.

We tried to get a cab.

You know they got Russians

driving cabs?

What if someone got in with

a briefcase full of atomic secrets?

Murray, remember what Dr. Kaplan said.

We're going to be nice and calm.

He was a little distressed after

what happened with those...

I'm fine. I'm fine.

I was jumpy for a while, that's all.

What was that?

It's all right, dear. I heard it too.

Of course you did!

The thing is, you can't stay tonight.

I'd love it if you could.

It's just, the building is being...

...fumigated.

- Being renovated.

- Mice and stuff.

- Rats.

No sweat. We'll book into a hotel.

- You know, mice and bugs...

- Hey, that's okay.

You can't be too careful.

There's all kinds of foreign bugs.

Your mom baked you an apple pie.

Thanks.

Someone sat on it.

I'm sure it'll taste okay.

Your dad's got some new inventions.

Reversible toilet paper.

We'll call you tomorrow

and have dinner.

- Okay, great.

- Good! Marvelous.

- Tomorrow.

- Bye. I'm sorry.

- That's okay.

- Welcome to New York!

Okay, that's a Kona praline

with kiwis and peanut butter cups?

Wait. Are the

peanut butter cups all-natural?

I'm not sure. Are the

peanut butter cups all-natural?

I know they're pesticide-free.

It's not the same.

They put other things in.

It comes off when they roast them.

Roasting is the worst.

Where they don't roast,

they have 70% less death.

Sure that isn't pickling?

How can you work with this

and not read studies?

It's a rat!

- Oh, my God!

- What's going on?

- Did she say there are rats?

- No rats.

That's not what she said.

The Clamp Entry-matic doors are being

upgraded to serve you better.

Please use the manual doors

for your entering and exiting needs.

A head came up, with big ears.

There was a thing in the topping.

- What kind of thing?

- A furry thing.

It's supposed to be health food.

I want damages!

- They've eaten after midnight.

- Come on.

Sorry I brought the wrong one home.

It's my fault. I shouldn't have left

Gizmo. We gotta find him.

It's along here.

There. That's where the water

comes into the building.

Give me video.

Security.

At least we can keep them

from getting wet.

Hold it! Get the hell out of there.

Move it! Come on, move!

Looks like I caught a terrorist.

What's in the bag?

- Nothing.

- Yeah? Let's look at that nothing.

- I wouldn't do this if I were you.

- But you aren't me, are you?

- We gotta find him before he eats.

- He already ate.

There are more of them.

We gotta shut the building down.

We?

We? We!

No, "we" gotta get the cops

and put you in a rubber room.

I'm not crazy. They're dangerous.

I've dealt with them.

They wreck things.

Ooh! They wreck things!

- Remember this town, Kingston Falls?

- I remember the Kingston Trio.

Let's go, kids. We're home, let's go.

This way. Over here.

- How did you get me out?

- With next month's rent.

- What time is it?

- Around 6:
30.

They probably made

their cocoons by now.

- How long do they take to hatch?

- Not long enough. Come on.

Echo!

Gizmo, ca-ca!

Clamp Centre is experiencing

illumination system difficulties.

Please try not to notice.

The building is completely

screwed up today.

I know, Fred.

Sure. You're young.

You know everything.

Bright light.

We'll need some of these.

Con Ed.

Gizmo, zap, zap!

I have to go to systems control.

- Kate, you're up.

- Good morning, Billy.

Oh, hi.

Last night was wonderful.

We have to do it again.

Marla, this is Kate.

My goodness, I have to go right away.

Hello.

- Hi.

- Cute hat.

Honey, that's my boss.

That's the woman I work with.

If we get through today alive,

you're in big trouble.

But you don't think that...

Great.

- Peltzer...!

- I need to speak with you.

You got arrested but you've come back.
